Landform Investigation: Caves

by 084385 on February 21, 2012

Recently, the cookie jar (whole Grade 6) started a new unit, How the World Works. The central Idea is  ”An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.”

The whole cookie jar investigated into a landform this week because it related to our unit. We got to pick a landform from a long piece of chart paper which was filled of the recent discussion; Landforms. The list had caves, dunes, valleys, peninsula, volcano, marshes, delta, reefs, waterfall, fjord, butte, hill, mountain, lakes, glaciers and many more but I picked Caves.  Caves mean: a large underground chamber. So I am the Caves Expert!

I presented to a group which included glaciers, marshes and peninsula.

Marshes: Mark

Peninsula: Nicola

Glaciers: Olivier

My presentation is coming on my blog soon… (Thursday is latest)
